Welcome to the Worldlywise Wiki
This Wiki is primarily for GCSE Geography students at Chesterton Community College, Cambridge. It is to support our study of the AQA(B) GCSE course. Geography teachers and students at other schools are welcome to view the pages.
Key dates for your diary
Year 10 - Coasts Exam (Unit 1) - Thursday 14th June, 9am
Year 10 resits - Natural Hazards Exam (Unit 2) - Monday 18th June, 9am
Year 11 - Global Tourism Exam (Unit 3) - Monday 25th June, 9am
We have chosen to study the course in a modular way - so you will study a topic, revise it in class and then sit your exam in it before moving onto a new topic. We've done this because it is what you - our students - told us you wanted to do when we surveyed you in Year 9.

Dr Hutchinson is emailing parents with a daily discussion question to help you focus on your Geography revision. If your parents would like to receive the email containing this question and a suggested mark scheme they should let Dr Hutchinson know by emailing khutchinson@chesterton.cambs.sch.uk . This is an opt-in service and your parents will not be sent the email unless they have requested it. The questions (not the answers) are also available on Twitter by following @ChestertonGeog .
